The South Korean government has gone into dissent-crushing overdrive in an attempt to stop anyone in Korea from downloading the video or pictures of the murder of Korean hostage Kim Sun-il.

In its fervour, it firstly blocked the blogger domain from being viewed from inside Korea, followed closely by blogs.com and typepad. Korean blogger Marmot is not impressed:

The cyber fascists at the Ministry of Information and Communications have shut down Typepad blogs, too. I’m on the verge of walking across the street and throwing eggs at MIC headquarters. No notification, no reasons given… not even a list of sites they’ve decided to ban. I have no clue how long this is going to last, so don’t ask.

And again, I reiterate, fuck you, MIC.

To help out, I have prepared a personal message to the Korean Ministry of Information and Culture, which I learned from playing crappy mmorpgs: Imi shimi pet pojida!
